  5. RACER Trust, in its sole discretion, will determine whether each prospective Buyer’s offer satisfies the criteria that RACER Trust must consider in the sale or lease of RACER Trust real properties.

Prospective buyers are hereby directed to review RACER Trust’s combined Letter of Intent (“LOI”) and Purchase and Sale Agreement (“PSA,” including Environmental Easement Agreement) for detailed terms and conditions.

By submitting an offer in response to this CFO, each prospective buyer represents that it has read all of the documents referenced in the CFO (as attached thereto or linked to RACER Trust’s website), including but not limited to the Settlement Agreement, and understands that its failure to familiarize itself with these documents shall not relieve it from performing in accordance with this CFO.

BROKERS
 

Since the March 31, 2011, Effective Date of RACER Trust, its Redevelopment Manager, Deputy Redevelopment Manager, and Transaction Manager (each an employee of RACER Trust and collectively RACER’s “Redevelopment Team”) have and will continue to self-perform all of the brokerage activities required for the sale of RACER Trust real properties, including but not limited to: promoting, advertising, marketing, generating leads , vetting prospects, conducting property tours, conducting negotiations, preparating transaction documents, managing buyer due diligence, closing, etc.

Given RACER Trust’s in-house capabilities, its dual cleanup and redevelopment mission, and the sale criteria requirements of the Settlement Agreement, RACER Trust will not give an exclusive, full listing for the sale of RACER Property to any broker.  However, RACER Trust may in its sole discretion enter a single-buyer seller commission agreement with a broker, provided the broker can demonstrate all the following:

  1. The broker has a current assignment (for a specific requirement) from the buyer which is evidenced by a fully-executed engagement agreement between the buyer and the broker and that agreement is presented to RACER Trust prior to an introduction of the buyer to RACER Trust, and
  2. RACER Trust has not already been previously contacted by the buyer or parties representing the buyer, and
  3. The broker is duly-licensed in good standing and in compliance with all applicable state licensing requirements and provides RACER Trust with evidence to document same.

The single-buyer seller commission agreement must be executed by both RACER Trust and the broker in advance of any communications by RACER Trust with the buyer or parties representing the buyer.

RACER Trust in its sole discretion determines whether: (1) it will enter into a commission agreement with a broker; (2) the buyer satisfies all the criteria that the RACER Trust must consider for the sale of its real property as stipulated in the Settlement Agreement; (3) to accept or reject any offers; (4) to terminate under its rights in a contract for the sale of RACER Trust real property with a buyer; and (5) to provide a letter to a broker indicating that RACER Trust is not willing to pay a seller’s commission.

The commission under such agreement shall be paid only after closing.
